It is more important for schoolchildren to learn about local

history than world history. To what extent do you agree or

disagree?
There are some reasons why I am convinced that studying world history is also
critical and should not be overlooked. To commence with my first thesis, global
history can enhance students’ understanding about various aspects of the world.
For instance, they may know where people came from and how difference
between them in the past and today. They can learn about the prominent wars
and conflicts in the world such as: WW2, the event of the end of Apartheid of
Nelson Mandela and so on. And they can denounce all the meaningless wars
because of the terrible crimes. Moreover, having a world-wide historical
knowledge is good for students’ future life. Because at present, people are prone
to approach and support people who show their big respects to the culture and
history of a country. Therefore, it has created conditions for children to interact
and make friend with foreigners and make the relations between the countries
become more united.
However, it can be undeniable that learning about national history is an
indispensable part of educational curriculum for the youngster. Firstly, the
benefit is gaining their knowledge about the development progress of their
country. For example, children know exactly how to their ancestors defend their
land against invaders and reclaimed sovereignty. Therefore, they can develop
patriotism, take pride in their origin and tell the visitors all over the world.
Secondly, that is not only their right but also their responsibility and duty to
have thorough insights into the traditional values and identity.

Although more and more people read the news on internet,

newspaper will remain the most important source of news
for the majority of people. Do you agree or disagree?

There are some reasons to believe that a lot of people look through the
information on the internet but newspaper will still the most critical source of
news for almost everyone. To commence with the reason that some part of
people may not have a phone or another smart appliances to find out and read
the news through the Internet. For example, there are many families who can't
buy a phone or smart device because they can't afford it. Moreover, the elder
can’t research the news on the phone’s screen because their eyes are weak or the
children is too small to acess to smart equipment because they have a higher
risk of nearsightedness. In addition, if you are in the rural area that there is no
Internet, you must use newspaper to know the information for monitor new
news, and they also use this way because of the lack of economic conditions.
However, it can be undeniable that news on the Internet is a significant source
to update information. Firstly, almost everywhere have electromagnetic waves
now and your phone is smaller than a newspaper, you can put it on your
handbag or pocket and bring it to anywhere you want and refurbish news as
soon as possible, it is really convenient. Secondly, teenagers aren't keen on read
newspaper like their grandparent or their parents’s generation. They think that
this is old-fashioned and waste of time, they don't want to be sedentary and read
a boring newspaper. Online newspapers are more exciting, sometimes they have
music and lively images to make people easy to imagine what writers are
writing about. Thirdly, if you want to find an important information that you
have mentioned before, use newspaper will waste lots of time, but with Internet
you can find it much easier by Google or Knock Knock,... it is more and more
favorable.
P – Point Online education has become more popular form of distance education in the recent years
I – Illustrate Students have freedom to take lessons from home, they do not have to be present
physically in the lecture room. The experience of virtual learning environment via the internet
whenever needed makes it time independent. For many learners, it provides the ability to maintain
personal busy schedules and take classes at the same day. E - Explain The flexibility of online learning
makes it a very powerful and popular medium of education.

The fact that students pay for their own tuition will reduce the learning
opportunities of excellent students from poor families. For example, doctors,
engineers, teachers—professional jobs that require intensive training at the
university level. Therefore, it is dire need of government’s support to provide
the chance to poor students for long term purpose. If these excellent students are
permitted to attend university and sponsored by the government in terms of
financial aid, they will be provided valuable and important skills for the society.
“ Some people think that governments should give financial support to creative artists such as
painters and musicians. Others believe that creative artists should be funded by alternative
sources. Discuss both views and give your own opinion”
Some people think that innovative artists should be supported financially
by the government. In contrast, others are convinced that the supplies from the
fans or other organizations can be beneficial to them. In this essay, I will discuss
both opinions and present my own perspective.
Some people hold a belief that art projects should be funded by the state.
For instance, in Britain, there are a lot of pieces of art in public areas which
represent culture, history, and heritage. They play an important role to educate,
act as landmarks and talking points for visitors all over the world. If these artists
cannot get financial support, their own artistic products will be less interesting
and attractive.
 On the other hand, others believe that painters or musicians should be
funded from other sources. The main reason is that the government has a lot of
pressing concerns. For example, they have to spend budgets on other vital
fields, such as education, healthcare, and infrastructure which are more
beneficial to all the residents. Meanwhile, investing in art works is very
luxurious and sometimes has potential risks. Furthermore, alternative sources
can have sustainable finance to make conditions for them to perform their
talents. It seems to be an efficient way. Another reason that creative artists can
earn their own money by selling their spectacular artworks
In conclusion, all the works from creative artists can positively influence
on our society, so I hold a belief that they can get support in finance from both
the government and other institutions.

Some people argue that for schoolchildren to learn about local history than global history. I
completely disagree with this point of view. I believe that having insights into what happened in a
person's local past develops his patriotism. To illustrate, the children in Viet Nam are taught how
their ancestors defended their land against foreign invaders and reclaimed sovereignty. As a result,
children will feel proud of their roots because if there was no bloody revolution, reclaim our
sovereignty, we won't be able to become like today and for sure the children will feel appreciate the
life they know today. Also, I think it is not only the privilege of students but also their responsibility
to know about their own history to understand the values and traditional identity of their
homeland.Or let's say.. in terms of the most realistic, should the foreigner happen to pay a visit to
our country, if they ask us about our culture or something that relates to the history we can easily
answer their queries

From another angle, learning about world history shares equal importance just as local
one.Acquiring knowledge about the world’s past events equips students with a more well-rounded
perspective of life.. Lessons from the World War or the Feminist protest against the abuse and
discrimination of women will help learners improve their understanding of different aspects of the
world . Furthermore, I think that being taught the historical context of other countries will benefit
young learners in their future careers. Students who accumulate knowledge of this particular field
from an early age will have a golden opportunity to work for foreign businesses, especially those
countries that value company culture such as Japan.

In some countries, shopping online is replacing shopping at store. Discuss both

the pros and cons of this trend (nộp trước buổi học)
Nowadays, with the increasingly development of technology and the effect of
the Covid-19 pandemic, people are tend to shopping online instead of in-store
shopping. I hold a belief that this trend has both the pros and cons which are
discussed in this essay.
The negative impacts of shopping online have been discussed. To begin with, at
stores, customers can see and touch directly the products before making buying
decision whereas shopping online cannot because they only look at them
through screen. For example, when a man buys a T-shirt on the Internet, it
might not make his expectations and be delivered in time. This results in the
frustration of the customers Moreover, e-shopping may contains a lot of
potential risks. For instance, when finishing order requirements, the buyers who
do not know how to protect their personal information can be a lucrative goal
for the hi-tech criminals that they can hack the banking accounts and steal the
identity and so on. In addition, when we get the products on hand, the first thing
whoever does is wgetting rid of the cardboard boxes that can make a bad
influence on the environment strongly.
Despite drawbacks, e-shopping also has unique benefits. Firstly, it makes
people’s life easier and faster. By virtue of services of shipping door-to-door,
the buyers can save their time and efforts. Furthermore, on the Internet, there
are a lot of types of goods with lots of prices which can give the customers
much more freedom of choices to have the best option. Secondly, shopping
online make conditions to promote the international trade. For example, when a
man who lives in Vietnam can buy products from other countries like United
States, England by a simple click of mouse at home. Last but not least, e-
commerce can help to improve the quality services for the brands via some
recommendations from customers.
In the end, the above analyses show that shopping online has both merits and
demerits; however, I believe it is an essential trend with the rapid improvement
of hi-tech.

In conclusion, various measures can be taken to tackle the problem that are

In the developed world, average life expectancy is increasing. What
problems will this cause for individual and society? Suggest some
measures that could be taken to reduce the impact of ageing
populations.
In the industrialised countries, the expected life of an individual is gradually improving.
A lot of people think that the tendency is a positive development, but it has caused
some problems for many countries. In this essay, I will discuss several causes and
suggest solutions to tackle this issue.

There are different reasons to explain for the issue. Firstly, as the population of old
people grow, the demand in healhcare rise and onsequently enhance the prices of
medical supplies, which would be a problem for the young people. For example,
youngsters spend more time taking care of the elderly because their health is not
guaranted. In detail, the elderly can suffer from many diseases such as heart attack,
stroke, which are unpredictable. Secondly, the increase in the number of senior people
creates a tax burden for working adults. To clarify, there will be more people of
retirement age so the government has to provide more taxes. On the other hand, as the
average age increases, there will be fewer working adults because they have to stay at
home to take care of the elderly's health. As a result, the amount of tax paid to old
people will decrease. Thirdly, the elderly also receive benefits from the government such
as housing, health insurance, dental care, life insurance,.. For these reasons, the
government has no financial resources to develop the country.

Solutions to tackle the issue are presented below.To commence with, governments can
extend retirement age standard. For example, many countries are having the standard
pension age at the age of 55 years old, and they could extend the age into 60 or 65
years since their senior people are still in a healthy and prime condition. Moreover,
government needs to improve medical technology to ensure health for the elderly to
work. Last but not least, may countries can encourage immigration to improve taxes so
that young people are not burdened with taxes.

In conclusion, various measures can be taken to tackle the problem that are certain
arise as average life span is increasing. Although enhancing life expectancy is a positive
sign of advanced technology, it also causes a number of problems for governments and
people.

Wild animals have no place in the 21st century, so protecting them

is a waste of resources. To what extent do you agree or disagree
For
People have a responsibility to protect the species on this planet. In detail, we need to try to
preserve these endangered animals because if they go extinct, the balance between species
will be disrupted and thus reduce the quality of the food chain.
Loss of species can disrupt the balance of the ecosystem. It can be understandable that entire
ecosystems are generally affected when one species goes extinct. For example, in Africa,
there were so many rats that people tried to get rid of one, leading to the fact that the cat was
also exterminated and died of hunger and disease. From there was born something very
harmful like crazy cats and plague.
Biodiversity is essential for the well-being of the planet because it brings great economic,
environmental and life values. For instance, domesticated animals provide us with food and
food, fuel and herbs for medicine. To illustrate, Cattle serve us with needs such as: food, fur,
milk, labor, economy,etc.
New medicines and treatments can be found by studying animal species. Take this as a
typical example, people use white mice to test drugs because they are easy to raise, reproduce
quickly, have a short life span and especially have a genome close to humans.
It is the only way some species can be protected from extinction
Against
It is too costly. It involves law enforcement, research and security. For example, it costs
money, labor, and land area,... In detail, people have to build a sanctuary, take care of
animals, buy food for them to eat.
Humans should be prioritised over animals because humans are smarter than animals, they
can do a lot of things that animals can’t do and they have emotions.
Money should be spent on education and healthcare for people. For example, instead of using
money to build conservation areas, people can use that money to build schools with full
advanced equipment for education or a hospital with full equipment for health care. Because
knowledge and health are almost the most important things to human life and without
knowledge or health, people will be like animals, unable to think and find solutions to
preserve animals and themselves
Species will become extinct. It is part of life. For instance, the Earth pushed the dinosaurs
into extinction. To clarify, the extinction of animals is only a matter of sooner or later. Factors
affecting this can be mentioned as climate change, natural disasters, volcanic eruptions,
smog, ...
Not all animals are worth saving. Some animals are dangerous. For example, animals can
cause harm to economy, material, quality of life of people,... In detail, wild pigs in the US
cause up to 1.5 billion USD in damage to the US economy every year.

Declining numbers due to illegal hunting or poaching. For example, people hunt wild animals
for meat, decoration, display and luxury accessories. In detail, horns, tusks, fangs, claws, wild
fur are used to make coats to traditional costumes, and tropphy; the keeping, confinement,
display of wild animals attract people's attention so that they can make a profit. All of the
above behaviors are due to a lack of awareness, unintentionally aiding,...
Organise guards to protect animals and have harsher punishment for poaching and illegal
hunting. For example, let's educate people how dangerous it is to hunt wild animals, ask the
government to take stricter measures for the behavior of hunting wild animals. In detail, please
tell everyone the consequences of this such as ecological imbalance, loss of biodiversity,...
Wild animals have no place in the 21st century, so protecting them
is a waste of resources. To what extent do you agree or disagree.
Nowadays, many kinds of wild animals are facing the danger of extinct because of many
reasons. One of them is that in the 21st century, there are no habitats for them to live.
Some people think that it is waste of resources to protect them. I totally disagree with
this idea for the following reasons which will be discussed in this essay.
However, there exist certain underlying reasons why I advocate the idea that the
protection of wild animals is wasteful. Firstly, People have a responsibility to protect the
species on this planet. In detail, we need to try to preserve these endangered animals because
if they go extinct, the balance between species will be disrupted and thus reduce the quality
of the food chain. Secondly, loss of species can disrupt the balance of the ecosystem. It can
be understandable that entire ecosystems are generally affected when one species goes
extinct. For example, in Africa, there were so many rats that people tried to get rid of one,

there was born something very harmful like crazy cats and plague. In addition, biodiversity is

studying animal species. Take this as a typical example, people use white mice to test drugs
because they are easy to raise, reproduce quickly, have a short life span and especially have a
genome close to humans. It is the only way some species can be protected from extinction
To summarize, humans have no authority to decide whether or not wild creatures should
exist, and I believe we should do all possible to protect them.

“In most countries, animal species are declining rapidly. What are the causes
of this? What measures could be done to prevent this decline?”
Animal species are quickly dwindling in most nations. In this essay, I will present certain
underlying reasons of the rapid decline of animal species and suggest some workable
solutions for this problem.
There are different reasons to explain for the issue. Firstly, declining numbers due to illegal
hunting or poaching. For example, people hunt wild animals for meat, decoration, display and
luxury accessories. In detail, horns, tusks, fangs, claws, wild fur are used to make coats to
traditional costumes, and tropphy; the keeping, confinement, display of wild animals attract
people's attention so that they can make a profit. All of the above behaviors are due to a lack
of awareness, unintentionally aiding,... Secondly, endangered animal products are used in
traditional medicines or the fashion industry. For instance, people use pangolin scales to
make medicine. To clarify, to get the pangolin scales, people sometimes beat the pangolin to
death, peel off the whole skin with the scales intact, dry it; When using, pull out the scales
one by one and process it. Thirdly, loss of habitat due to deforestation and human habitation.
For example, the disappearance of the Penan tribe in Malaysia along with the destruction of
habitats as well as culture and practices for many generations. In detail, the Malaysian
government started to build a big dam in the middle of the tropical forest, destroying the
entire natural forest cover and the inherent ecosystem, where trees, animals and the Penan
tribe live in harmony and happiness together. centuries, for the profit of politicians. Finally, it
is low breeding numbers. For instance, diseases in livestock and poultry still occur, affecting
livestock development. In detail, poultry has blackhead disease and cattle have rumen
distension.
Natural beauty spots
There are different reasons to explain for the issue. Natural beauty spots are tourist attractions
which boost a country’s economy. For example, in 2017, Ha Long Bay (Quang Ninh)
welcomed more than 3.6 million visitors, including 2.4 million international visitors,
collecting about 1,100 billion VND from ticket sales. If managed and used in the right
direction, natural landscapes will be a great resource to bring long-term and sustainable
profits to the economy.
Solutions to protect them
Solutions to tackle the issue are presented below. Stricter laws should be introduced to
protect natural beauty spots from illegal behaviour of visitors.
For instance, the government needs to increase fines for acts that damage historical - cultural
relics, scenic spots and landscapes. To clarify, instead of the current fine from 100,000,000
VND to 500,000,000 VND, it should be increased from 250,000,000 VND to 750,000,000
VND.
Causes and solutions of pollution
Everyone wants to reduce pollution. But the pollution problem is as complicated as it is serious. It is
complicated because much pollution is caused by things that benefit people. In this essay, I will
discuss several causes and suggest solutions to tackle this issue
There are different reasons to explain for the issue. Firstly, fossil fuels such as natural gas, oil
and coal are used in electricity generation for industrial and private consumption. For
example, coal is used to generate electricity in thermal power plants; as fuel in steam engines,
locomotives; generating heat in metallurgical plants. In detail, important industries such as
cement, metallurgy, chemicals cannot be formed and developed without relying on coal
energy which has provided the world's main source of energy for the past century. Secondly,
road traffic emissions from petrol or diesel engines increase carbon monoxide and nitrogen
oxides. For example, for motor vehicles using combustion engines, vehicle exhaust fumes
from burning fuel contain a lot of toxic substances, including carbon dioxide. To
clarify,vehicle smoke can cause dangerous diseases such as cancer, heart disease. Finally,
power plants generate electricity but also produce carbon dioxide. For example, US power
plants emit 2.5 billion tons of CO2 per year, the highest in the world. To clarify, exhaust gas
from the factory affects the respiratory system, cause dangerous diseases, poison the body,
and cause infertility.
There are several actions that government could take to address the problem described
above. To commence with, industries should be encouraged to use sustainable green energy.
For instance, industries should change the policy, structure and technology of the energy
sector, from producing and consuming traditional fossil energy sources such as coal, oil, and
natural gas to renewable energy sources as wind, sun, biomass. To clarify, instead of using
coal to generate electricity, industries can use solar energy to generate it because solar energy
is cleaner, cheaper, inexhaustible, non-polluting. Moreover, people can boycott products from
companies known to pollute. For instance, Farmers are suing Vedan about the company
polluting the Thi Vai River. In detail, operating for 20 years in Vietnam, Vedan company has
suffered a lot of notoriety because it is considered the culprit causing serious pollution to the
provinces of Dong Nai, Saigon and Ba Ria-Vung Tau. In September 2008, the company was
found to discharge production wastewater directly into the river with the volume of 5,000
m3/day.Last but not least, limit the number of the cars on the road by increasing petrol tax,
improving public transport and setting up traffic-free zones in city centres. For example, the
Department of Transport of Ho Chi Minh City proposed that the People's Committee of Ho
Chi Minh City invest 250 billion VND in the budget to build 34 toll gates for cars in the
central area to reduce congestion. To clarify, it is easy to see that the biggest traffic jam is not
motorbikes, but cars occupy most of the road surface. When limiting cars, it will create a
clear road surface, if taken advantage of to facilitate fast bus circulation, such as arranging
separate lanes, it will help attract passengers, promote the development of public transport for
people. gradually give up personal cars.
In conclusion, various measures can be taken to tackle the problem that are certain arise as
the need for private transport, for electricity. Each of us has a responsibility to protect our
living environment from pollution!

“How life has changed since the Covid -19 Pandemic?”
There are several reasons why people might argue that strength of spirit is
significant for success in sport. Firstly, only athletes with great will can
maintain composure under competitive pressure. For example, many top sports
players like Cristiano Ronaldo or LeBron James devote all their willpower and
mental preparation to feeling confident and calm despite the pressure to stay at
their best while other players can succumb. In detail, mental strength is
responsible for building their resistance to boredom and fatigue and keeping
them motivated while the body is suffering from fatigue.
Some people believe that mental strength is important for success in sport, by
contrast, others disagree with this idea since they think that physical strength is
neccessary for success in sport. This essay will discuss both point of views and
present my own opinion.

Lately, the design of a structure/pattern and the contribution/task/mission of its

opinion, this is a positive development.
In short, the change in family structure and each member's role is a positive sign for a better life.

Currently, stress is an important/alarming/pressing issue in many nations around the world. It has
become both a national and an international concern in the society. In this essay, I will present

problem.

Idea: pressure from family

Supporting idea: Parents always put pressure on their children to achieve what their
parents want

Idea: listening to smoothing music

Supporting idea: Slow-paced instrumental music can help to induce relaxation by

lowering blood pressure, heart rate, and stress hormones.
